Image of a smartphone displaying a World Clock Widgets app interface. The screen shows different time zones (LAX, NYC, LON, TYO, Cairo) along with respective times. The interface includes a large clock widget and smaller ones.

Today I found out about World Clock Widgets, thanks to a toot.

A series of smartphone screens displaying the World Clock app. The first screen shows the current time in various global cities. The second screen provides detailed information for PrΓ­ncipe, including its location on a map, time zone, sunrise and sunset times. The third screen shows widget selection.

Happy I did, as it’s a lot better than Overlap, the app I’ve been using for the longest time. One thing always annoyed me: no 24-hour format available in the widget, even though the app has that option.

Anyway, this new one has more widgets than I could ever wish for, lots of information about each city you pick, and it’s free to try. I bought the unlock as soon as the app launched for the first time, as I know I’ll use it often. I hate ads, and love supporting indie developers. This particular one has a couple other apps I’ve used.

If you need information about multiple timezones (who doesn’t these days?), I can easily see how this app will help you.

No more bothering people when they’re just waking up, or about to go to bed.

You can thank me later.
